Pros:
Really nice pop and the grip is very comfortable in your hands and also has a very good balance to it. Not to mention that the graphics and colors go very well together, its a great looking bat. I gave it all 5-stars because when I got to swing it at the Rawlings tech center I liked it a lot and it performed very well. I recommend this bat for sure.Cons:Hurts when you hit it off the end and that's about all

Pros:
Great pop, good sound, balanced, light, solid, and overall the best bat out there right now.
I have the Easton XL1 and now that I have the Trio, the XL1 is not my best bat anymore, the Trio is.Cons:None

The Rawlings TRIO BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBTRIO) is going to be the balanced version.

What is the difference between this and the 2015 Velo?

Asked by hammer02 on

The composite material in the handle and a slight difference in the amount of composite in the end of the bat make the design of the Rawlings TRIO BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBTRIO) much different from the design of the 2015 Rawlings VELO BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBRVB). The VELO will have a bit lighter swing weight while the TRIO will have a bit better feel with less sting and vibration on hits of the end of the bat or in toward the hands.

What are the main differences between the Rawlings Trio End-loaded to the Rawlings Trio Balanced. Which one do you recommend? I'm in high school and I don't try to hit home runs but if I get the right pitch, I could. What do you recommend?

Most players are going to prefer the balanced version like the Rawlings TRIO BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBTRIO) because it has an easier swing for better bat speed. Power hitter type players may prefer the end-loaded version of the bat which would feel heavier because the weight is more focused to the barrel of the bat on the Rawlings TRIO End-Load BBCOR Baseball Bat (BBTRI3).

Product Description

Introducing the TRIO, a three-piece hybrid, blending a Comp Lite Endcap, 5150 Alloy, and a composite handle for ultra low MOI and increased barrel flex. Rawlings is out to prove that they truly are on the cutting edge of BBCOR design technology. The original 5150 Alloy BBCOR was one of the first BBCOR bats to hit the market, yet it achieved uncommon staying power and popularity for years after its release. That's because players barely noticed a difference in performance, swing weight, and durability from their BESR bat. Now that Rawlings has had a chance to perfect the design even further, this year's TRIO is sure to be even more popular! The unique feel offered by Rawlings' BBCOR bats is made possible through Precision Optimized Performance (pOp) Barrel Technology that isolates extra weight to a smaller region of the bat, translating into extra swing speed. Made from the ultra-responsive 5150 Alloy, this three-piece design also features Rawlings' proprietary Bi/fusion process that joins the Comp-Lite end cap to the 5150 Alloy frame to give it more durability and more pop in one single, solitary unit. With a 7/8 Inch tapered handle and premium synthetic grip, the TRIO will feel incredible in your hands. Rawlings: The New Standard of Speed! The TRIO is BBCOR Certified and legal for high school and collegiate play. It is backed by a Full Twelve (12) Month Manufacturer's Warranty. Free Shipping!
